Pakistan Military Vows to Try Arsonists Under Army Laws
Pakistan witnessed large-scale violent protests for four consecutive days following the arrest of ex-premier Imran Khan last Tuesday.
Pakistan's top military leadership resolved to try the rioters, who were responsible for unleashing mayhem in the country, including attacks on defense installations, under the stringent Army Act and Official Secrets Act, local publications reported on Tuesday.
Pakistan's top military brass held a special Corps Commanders Conference at the army headquarters in Rawalpindi on Monday wherein they deliberated on the recent violence that engulfed the South Asian nation after the
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader's arrest.
Army Makes 'Irrefutable Evidence' Claim
The meeting of the corps commanders, chaired by Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir, criticized the acts of vandalism and arson by Khan's supporters who damaged both military and public property.
In an indirect reference to Khan, the military went on to state that a particular party's leadership used the situation for earning political benefits before promising to deal with the arsonists sternly.
"Based on the irrefutable evidence collected so far, armed forces are well aware of the planners, instigators, abettors and perpetrators of these attacks, and attempts to create distortions in this regard are absolutely futile," the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Pakistan military's media department, said in a statement.
The commanders expressed confidence that those who participated in ransacking military installations and attacked personnel of the security forces would be given the strictest possible punishment under the laws of the land, and no concession would be made for these violators.
The army's resolve to bring the perpetrators of violence to justice through the Pakistan Army Act comes after Imran Khan slammed the institution for favoring the current Shehbaz Sharif government.
Khan Slams ISPR Chief for Labeling Him 'Anti-Army'
On Saturday, Khan hit out at Major-General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry - the ISPR chief after he labeled the former Prime Minister a "hypocrite".
Khan slammed the ISPR's top official, noting that Chaudhry should be "ashamed" for terming him an "anti-Army" person.
"Listen to me Mr DG ISPR... you were not even born when I was representing my country in the world and earning a good name for it. You should be ashamed of yourself for calling me a hypocrite and anti-Army," Khan said in his address to the public during the weekend.
Following Khan's dramatic arrest in Islamabad last week, violence rocked Pakistan, with members of the PTI and his supporters, launching violent protests throughout the nation.
The violence killed 10 persons while leaving dozens injured.
